Posted By: DaveTwo part question- What is your favorite card in the entire set? Doesn't have to be your favorite player or card you'd love to have the most, just the most attractive card in the set to you? And, whats the least attractive card in the set to you??? For me, my favorite is the Eddie Collins portrait, simple, yet the colors and pattern of the card I just find striking. <img src="http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l111/asphaltman76/35_1.jpg"> Least favorite....I'm not as big of a fan of the action shots, the McGraw finger in the air I just fine to be a "weird" shot. <img src="http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l111/asphaltman76/91_12.jpg"> Or the Howard of Savannah....not sure what's going on with his arms. Looks like he's trying to lay them on top of his belly, although not much of a belly.<img src="http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l111/asphaltman76/kmhow1.jpg">

Posted By: Daveyeah that Marquard picture definately doesn't scream out chick-getter...the belt looped around to the side doesn't scream out a man that cares about his appearance either

Posted By: MVSNYCwell, i just happened to have brought my jim pastorious PSA 8 into work to scan for someone...it is one of my favorite cards...blue sky, green grass, white uniform, glove at chest, etc...amazing card. another one of my favorites: keeler, with bat...another favorite: wilbur goode, great colors, cool look on his face... as far as some of my least favorites, i just scanned the whole set online (really didn't have to, every card's image is enblazened into memory anyway)...but i have to say, it is hard to find one card that doesn't have great eye appeal...if i had to choose, maybe some of the cards that the player is just wearing a grey uniform, with no added pop or great colors, etc, but those are few and far between...bottom line is, all of these cards are little works of art, simply beautiful!

Posted By: Rob NYCBill Bergen batting is my favorite. I like the double-breasted jacket. How did they move in those things? <img src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y205/Gallery19/T206%20Bill%20Bergen/Piedmont150A.jpg"> The worst? I really can't say anything bad about any of the cards. Each has it's own unique character.

Posted By: jay behrensBelt buckles were worn to the side for a reason. That reason escapes me at the moment. Jay I love pinatas. You get to beat the crap of something and get rewarded with candy.

Posted By: steve fThe Matty portrait, with that lockerroom haircut and the sunset background. Jay, Were outfielders caught trying to reflect the sun into the batter's eyes on the windup? During highschool auto-shop, the teacher made us wear the belt like that to keep from gouging fenders.

Posted By: MikeBelt buckles were normally worn to the side to avoid landing on them if you had to dive for the ball.

Posted By: JoannBest - Matty portrait (followed closely by Cobb green) Worst - Spike Shannon. Something about the look of that card has always bugged me. It almost looks unfocused or fuzzy, and he looks like a dolt in it. J

Posted By: BrettMy favourite is the t206 Cobb bat off. It actually looks like him and has neat colours in the background. I don't really care much for the bat on because it makes him look fat. Maybe i can trade it for an E card of Cobb. I do own a bat on shoulder, but only because its in better shape than the rest of my cards. I think it would grade atleast a 2. <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1163630981.JPG">
